Linux/TMDX654IDKEVM: Creating custom bitbake image

Part Number: TMDX654IDKEVM

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

So far I have familiarized myself with bitbake build process. I was following the guide on adding a custom recipe and wanted to add python-kafka recipe from meta-openstack.

After adding the recipe in a custom layer meta-custom and having the image as "custom-base-image" requiring arago-core-tisdk-image when the package was built, it had the following contents.

Previously, I would just untar the rootfs in the rootfs partition of my SD card and it would work. I wanted to understand, how do use this package for getting the rootfs on the SD card which has my custom recipe built in.

    Make sure that you have the line <absolutepath-to-tisdk>/sources/meta-openstack \ added to BBLAYERS += " \ in <tisdk>/build/conf/bblayers.conf and have the IMAGE_INSTALL += "python-kafka" line in <tisdk>/build/conf/local.conf file.

    You need to extract that archive and you will find your custom recipe build rootfs within the filesystem directory.
